25 (updated) things, plus a few more.

Hello friends! I always love, love, love reading "things about me" posts from other bloggers and friends. The last time I did one of these was over three years ago!! It was during my Freshman year of college and I thoroughly enjoyed going back and reading it today- especially seeing what's different now since then! I wanted to update it a little, so I tweaked the original. Here we go!

1. I collected snow globes when I was little. I used to get them from everywhere.
2. Don't get me wrong, I'm big on Starbucks, but I think drinking coffee at home is special on weekends. I do have a cup here and there though. WOW...I don't know what I was thinking..or maybe my coffee addiction is just that much stronger now? Literally drink coffee every single day.
3. I graduated high school on my 18th birthday. I went to a sandwich place afterwards with my best friend because everything else was closing. I did have a party, don't worry. My 13th birthday fell on Father's Day, that was pretty cool too.
4. My ideal wake-up time is 10 am, but that rarely happens ever. I wish me-then knew how rarely me-now gets to sleep in until 10 am. LOL at adulting.
5. I feel naked without earrings, I always have a pair in!
6. In a perfect world, everyone's handbags and shoes would match. That drives me crazy!
7. In high school, I won the Cheshire Cat award because I smiled all the time. I like to think I still do. More than ever, I truly believe this. Happiness and laughing are so important to me!
8. My parents will be married for 24 years this April, I think that is amazing and rare these days. 27 years now! I love them.
9. My car is named Ferg. Why? When I was a freshman in high school, she played Fergie's The Dutchess CD the best. The bass was so good. Still plays London Bridge like a boss.
10. I like to think my birthday is the exact middle of the year because it's June 15th, but I'm a little off.
11. I have to wear my retainer every night or I get paranoid. Is that weird? The paranoia is still real.
12. I want a Yorkie so bad when I graduate from college! (Mom, I know you're reading this.) Y'all, I wanted a Yorkie for YEARS for a college graduation present. Everyone knows about Messi right?
13. This first concert I went to was Travis Tritt, but I had to leave before he even came on stage.
14. The best (basically first)concert I have been to is Train/Mat Kearney. Train was amazing, Mat Kearney was rained out. Still one of the best concerts ever. 
15. At anytime, I could have up to two monograms on me. Don't judge. A little different nowadays. I still do love a monogram though.
16. Not to sound like such a girl, but Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember will forever be my favorite movie, Nights in Rodanthe was SUCH a good book.Bridesmaids is pretty far up my list, too. Forever my favorite movie.
17. I could eat breakfast at anytime of day. 24/7 - 365.
18. I could rock out to 80's music all the time. I think my mom and dad have really great taste in music - Hall & Oates especially. #Hall&OatesForever
19. I have to charge my phone every night. It's a pet-peeve. Let's be honest. I don't know why this is on here?
20. I have 7 pillows on my bed at the moment, but I usually sleep with my head on the mattress. Still like a good no-pillow sleep. Still have 7 pillows though, which is weird. Maybe it's a standard?
21. I was a cheerleader for 7 years, then I danced for 5.
22. My favorite thing to eat when I go home is Shepard's Pie or spaghetti. Also fried pork chops.
23. My favorite Pandora station is my Christina Aguilera one. I only 'thumbs up' her old music, so I get to hear N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Destiny's Child all day. Again, don't judge. Currently love my TLC Pandora station.
24. I know all the words to Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys. It's a talent the whole family shares.
25. I hate getting my nails done. I feel like it's torture.

Now for some newbies:

1. I graduated early from UNC Charlotte in December of 2017 with a degree in Elementary Education.
2. I just moved into my very first apartment! So much adulting is happening right now, y'all.
3. I start my first teaching position in two weeks!! I will be a first grade teacher to some sweet, little babies!
4. I am a co-owner of a precious small business with my best friend, Sammy. If you like cute clothes and accessories, check out Fineapple Boutique! Come and hang out with us THIS Saturday for our first birthday pop up shop!! It's going to be a good time. You can find the info on our homepage!
5. As previously mentioned, I'm a new dog mama! Sweet and sassy Messi, no not named after soccer player. Honestly, didn't even know there was a soccer player with that name. Clearly I closely follow sports.
